PICTURES OF YOU
THE CURE IN ORANGE Shot over two days in 1986 at Théâtre Antique & Musée d’Orange, the Cure’s live concert film The Cure in Orange features 23 songs, filmed on tour for the then-new Head on the Door record. For years Orange was available only on VHS and Laserdisc; this one-night-only showing will be screened from a rare 35MM print. The event is an ideal opportunity to experience the rarely seen film, and offers a poignant moment in time for OGs (Original Goths) to feel the flapping-andcrushing bat-wings of middle age. 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 26, Sun-Ray Cinema, Riverside, $9.50; $8 military, teachers, students; $7 seniors; $5.50 kids 12 and under, sunraycinema.com. 10 • FOLIOWEEKLY.com • July 19-25, 2017

THE IMPRESSION THAT I GET
ARIES SPEARS A proud son of the streets of NYC, comedian, actor and voice artist Spears first hit the standup stage at the age of 14. Three years later, he dropped out altogether, and by his midteens had appeared on both Def Comedy Jam and It’s Showtime at the Apollo. But most fans know him from the ’90s sketch comedy show MADtv, where he performed dozens of celeb impressions, ranging from Bobby Brown and Redd Foxx to O.J. Simpson and Jay-Z. 7:30 & 10 p.m. Friday, July 21 & Saturday, July 22; 7 p.m. Sunday, July 23, The Comedy Club of Jacksonville, Southside, $25-$50, jacksonvillecomedy.com.
